Playing in Norway

Hey everyone,

I'm thinking of pursuing hockey in Norway next year. I'm a big defensive men, and have played at a junior A/B level. Thinking of playing in the 1st or 2nd division, not the top league. Anyone know what the pay/compensation is like at that level, also what is it comparable to. Any information would be useful. Thank you.

With only junior a/b experience you would have a very difficult time getting a shot in the 1st division. Also, if you look at the players in the league (both 1st and 2nd div) you'll see there are no NA imports playing. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news
